'A tough night'published at 22:55 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, speaking to PLP: "We became a bit too open after we conceded the first goal. I think we are also in the state of mind at the moment where if we concede it is very uphill for us.
"What could help us in this moment is an early goal, get a lead and then work our way in the game.
"A tough night. We are in a tough situation, that is clear. It is tough for us as players and tough for the club in general. I know it sounds silly to say every week but we just have to work hard in training every week.
"The easy answer is to say we need to keep working. I think we are quite lucky we are still quite close to the other teams.
"We are always trying to stay positive as a group of players but it is tough at the moment."

No point in sacking RVN, the club is broken through and through. We have to start by fixing the problems at the top if we are serious about avoiding another trip to League One!

Wes Morgan
Former Leicester defender on Sky SportsIt has been proven that it can be done [teams can get out of the relegation battle despite the super computer]. I was part of the team that did it.
I am sure the fans are disappointed with how things have been going in recent weeks. Things can change, we know it has happened in the past.
It is not too late.
'We have dreams, we want to aim as high as possible'published at 22:49 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Brentford boss Thomas Frank speaking to MOTD: "Very good performance in many ways. It is not easy to win away from home in the Premier League. Coming here and winning 4-0 against a team that has to put everything into avoiding relegation, I am very happy with our performance and with the way we went forward and the chances we created. A clean sheet is very important. Overall a happy man."
On back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since April: "That's crazy. We have had a good season overall. Not through the roof, but good. We haven't had back-to-back wins so that is quite strange. To get over the line and get the win is important."
On impressive away form: "We haven't changed that much. We tried to be consistent with our messaging to players."
On substituting Christian Norgaard at half-time after he took a knock: "He didn't feel that well at half-time. It was the right decision."
On aiming for European places: "That is a big, big aim. We have dreams, we want to aim as high as possible no doubt about that and we want to push. It is the first time we had back-to-back wins, we need more further down the line before we can really dream. We are in a good place and can keep pushing."

FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Wes Morgan
Former Leicester defender on Sky SportsThe next few games, West Ham, Chelsea, Manchester United, it is not good.
When you are fragile at the back you need to be strong. You need to stay firm, stand strong and keep going. There is a real frailty in the team.
When you conceded the goals they did, you are on the back foot and that's really disappointing.
'Leicester need a spark'published at 22:42 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on Sky SportsThere wasn't anything from that Leicester team that suggested they may be on the way to getting out of this.
There was no resilience. Right now they need to find a spark and the stats don't suggest they have found it.
'They are in a place we are far off'published at 22:40 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to MOTD: "The level between us and Brentford was simply too big after the first 10-15 minutes.
"They were solid. They are in a place we are far off that and we have to acknowledge it.
"We had a very positive start to the game with some good attacks and good pressure but on the other hand Brentford were lethal.
"I think at half-time 3-0 down we said we wanted to go out and at least show something. We felt the levels were simply too big between the teams.
"Is it always fight? Of course we keep fighting and keep going but we have to perform to the maximum of our capabilities, only fighting is not going to get you anywhere. You also need the quality on the pitch at the right time.
"You have to recover from this first of all as a head coach you take responsibility first and foremost. Then rest and come back with new energy to lift the place where necessary.
"Tomorrow is a new day and we start again. It starts with yourself, reflect and recover and collectively we have to move on."

Lately, the form has been terrible. Everything is facing down and it needs to change.
'We let ourselves down'published at 22:31 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Leicester City's Jamie Vardy speaking to Sky Sports: "We played really well last week and one of the things we said before the game was making sure it was a full 90 [minutes] with that performance. It wasn't to be today and we let ourselves down."
On if the first goal knocked Leicester's confidence: "Possibly. All the goals we have conceded too easy. We played a lot better second half but it's a lot easier to do that when you are losing. We have all been there before and had spirited comebacks in the past. I don't see why that shouldn't change. It wasn't to be tonight and we weren't good enough."
On how they kick on from here: "We have to keep working hard. We have put in some decent performances and need to be doing it consistently. We have to get back into training, watch this back and see where it all went wrong."
On fans booing and recent protests: "It's hard but we just have to concentrate on the football. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to voice that and that is what the fans are doing."
On taking positives from not being cut adrift: "There is massive determination. There are three out of the bottom four that are all fighting for it. As long as we are in with a shout we knuckle down and focus on puttin in decent performances."
Image source, Getty Images'What a unit these players create when they work for each other'published at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Brentford manager Thomas Frank speaking to Sky Sports: "I think I would go as far as saying we have a front four and Damsgaard really gets them going. The second goal, a great run from Wissa to open up the space for Bryan and then of course he does the hard work. The way they connect, I think in the front four we have all the abilities you need. It's OK."
Why is it clicking for Mikkel Damsgaard this season? "The big thing is he is fit. He has had injuries in past seasons and now we have a rhythm and he is clicking with the team and it is just really nice to see.
On performances this season: "I think we have been fairly consistent with performances. That ability to win - this is the first two in a row we have done this season which is strange. We are on an upward curve so hopefully we can continue that.
"It is special. It is not easy to win in the Premier League and not easy to win away. It is definitely not easy to win 4-0 away. I have good players, good staff and good leadership.
"I think they are brilliant individual players all of them, but what a unit they create by playing together. One plus one plus one, that normally equals 11 for a whole team but it is 14 or 15 for this team. We have now won two in a row but let's see if we can get three in a row."
Image source, Getty Images'A huge step back'published at 22:22 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy speaking to Sky Sports: "You have to acknowledge it's a huge step back. There was hope after recent performances, the beginning of the game was hopeful with three chances. It could have changed the game. AFter the bright start from us we were never in the game again and at half-time the game was done."
On if the first goal turned the tide: "It did. Overall the general level and the difference between the level between Brentford and us was big. They showed they are big steps ahead of us at the moment. They controlled the game on and off the ball, they knew what they were doing. In the build-up they were organised and distrupted us. We were nowhere near their levels today."
On is his substitutions gave him food for thought about starting them: "Always. After a blow like this first you have to recover and then we look at the next."
On how he can lift his players after another home defeat: "We all have to lift ourselves first and then lift each other. That is always the case. Everyone is going home really disappointed and gutted with the loss and disappointed with the levels we showed today. We have to acknowledge it. The level between Brentford and us was significant and a worry for future hopes for us."
On if not being adrift gives him hope to cling onto: "We have to. It's the facts. We know we gave the other teams above us and below us a chance to gain points and momentum. Then it can become really difficult really quickly if we don't start picking up points."

Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on Sky SportsWe spoke before the game about Thomas Frank. I think he is effective in every phase of the game.

'We are dreaming of Europe'published at 22:16 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Brentford's Mikkel Damsgaard, speaking to Sky Sports: "We are in a good spot as a team right now, so it is amazing to finally get the two wins in a row.
"We knew if we played a good match we had a very good chance to win. The most important thing was our attitude.
"It is very nice we can get the away wins, now we just need to get the home wins and add it together.
"We are of course dreaming a little but we know how tough it is to sneak in so we take it one game at a time. We are dreaming of Europe."

'We can aim for top 10 and after that let's see'published at 22:09 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February
FT: Leicester 0-4 Brentford
Brentford goalscorer Yoane Wissa speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm very happy with the win. The first 10 miniutes we could have scored and Mark [Flekken] kept us in the game. But this is a performance to be proud of.
On the first goal setting the tempo of the game: "I know they are not in top shape and we are and as soon as we scored we started to control the game from the first minute to the end. We wanted to control the game, keep a clean sheet and get the three points."
On Mikkel Damsgaard: "He is the link from the defender to the striker. He is the magician of the team and we are the finishers. We are happy with him and happy with the team. Four goals today and we need to be proud."
On if Brentford can aim for European places: "Why not? We just need to keep winning, that is the aim. We can aim for top 10 and after that let's see."
Bryan Mbeumo on the success behind his partnership with Wissa: "Frienship, we get on really well on the pitch and off the pitch. You can see that it works well. We manage to always try to look for each other and it worked well."
On Brentford's front four thriving without Ivan Toney: "I always felt involved and now there are players that developed to this season and we have a really good group."
On back-to-back wins for the first time this season: "It's really important for the team and the fans as well and we are really happy."

Leicester fans should remember that relegation to the Championship doesn't guarantee a next season promotion back, just look at bottom of the league Luton.
Kevin
Brentford scored three first-half goals to win at the King Power Stadium
Angry Leicester fans turned on the club's board after they were thumped at home by dominant Brentford.
The Foxes suffered a sixth straight Premier League home defeat without scoring - the longest ever run by a top-flight side within a single season - as goals from Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard and Fabio Carvalho eased the Bees to victory.
Leicester supporters chanted against director of football Jon Rudkin and vented their fury with 'sack the board' as the club's survival hopes suffered another damaging blow with a 10th defeat in 11 games.
Boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy has won just two of his 13 league games since his November appointment, with his struggling side second bottom and two points from safety.
The Foxes have now not scored at home in the league for 75 days and Jamie Vardy was twice denied by Brentford keeper Mark Flekken early on, but there was little other promise once Thomas Frank's men took control.
The first goal after 17 minutes from Wissa followed muted chants for the removal of Rudkin, but the growing number of empty seats at the King Power made more of an impression, including the mass walkout of fans after the Bees added to their tally.
The dissent grew louder when Mbeumo curled in a 27th-minute second and Norgaard nodded in a third five minutes later as Brentford, who climbed to 10th, ripped through the hosts en route to sealing back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
Kevin Schade headed against the post and Keane Lewis-Potter's disallowed goal for handball denied the Bees a fourth before the break.
Mads Hermansen's fine save then thwarted Yehor Yarmoliuk in the second half, but substitute Carvalho finally added a fourth from close range with a minute left as the visitors claimed a league double over Leicester for the first time since the 1952-53 campaign.
More courage and quality needed for Foxes to survive
Brentford were 'lethal' - Van Nistelrooy
The King Power was barely a quarter full by the time the game finished.
It was a sorry sight after another wretched defeat which underlined struggling Leicester's top-flight deficiencies.
Hundreds of supporters headed for the exits when Norgaard headed in a third Brentford goal after just 32 minutes, signifying the fury from fans towards their club.
Apart from Boubakary Soumare and keeper Hermansen arguing after conceding the late fourth, there was little fight from the hosts.
There was perhaps a sense of resignation to their plight as only a few of the squad acknowledged the fans at the end.
Even then they barely ventured beyond the halfway line before heading to the dressing room, while the under-pressure van Nistelrooy made a quiet exit.
"You have to acknowledge it's a huge step back," the Dutchman said after the game.
"We have to acknowledge it. The level between Brentford and us was significant and a worry for future hopes for us."
The Foxes are only two points from safety despite their current wretched run but, on Friday's evidence, they need to find more courage and show more quality to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
'We have dreams' uzzing Bees reignite European hopes
'We have dreams' - Frank on aiming for Europe
Brentford had only won three times away from home in the league before Friday's victory but they were in cruise control once Wissa opened the scoring with a close-range finish after a lovely chipped through-ball from Mikkel Damsgaard.
It was just a fourth away win in 13 games in all competitions, which included a League Cup exit to Newcastle - a run which derailed their hopes of playing European football next season.
But this impressive victory moved them just four points behind the seventh-placed Magpies and seven off Manchester City in fourth spot.
After Wednesday's trip to Everton they face Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Newcastle – all sides rivalling them for a place in Europe – and a good run of results would renew belief they could achieve their goal - just 11 years since promotion from League One.
Boss Frank has helped build a stylish, enthusiastic, classy squad and, with a top-seven spot within reach, few would bet against the club taking another major step forward on their impressive recent journey.
"That is a big, big aim," Frank said when asked about his side's European ambitions.
"We have dreams, we want to aim as high as possible no doubt about that and we want to push. It is the first time we had back-to-back wins, we need more further down the line before we can really dream. We are in a good place and can keep pushing."

Match Facts
Leicester are unbeaten in their last four home league games against Brentford (W2 D2), having failed to win any of their first such eight meetings with the Bees between 1937 and 1953 (D4 L4).
Brentford’s 4-1 win in the reverse fixture ended an eight game winless run against Leicester in the league (D3 L5). Only in 1952-53 have they ever done the league double over the Foxes.
Leicester have lost each of their last five Premier League home games – they’ve never lost six in a row on home soil in their league history.
Leicester have lost each of their last five Premier League home games by an aggregate score of 11-0. The only team to lose six consecutive top-flight home games without scoring are Norwich City (June 2020 to August 2021), with no side doing so in a single campaign before.
Having failed to win any of their first nine Premier League away games this season (D2 L7), Brentford have now won each of their last three. The Bees last won four consecutive league games on the road in September 2011 in League One and have never done so in the top-flight.
Leicester have scored fewer first half goals in terms of total (7) and percentage (28%) than any other Premier League side this season. Indeed, no side has been ahead at half-time in fewer games than the Foxes this term (3).
Only bottom side Southampton (172) have faced more shots on target than Brentford in the Premier League this season (151), with the Bees’ six per game faced their highest average in a single campaign. However, Leicester have had fewer shots on target than any side this term (77).
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has never scored in four previous league appearances against Brentford – he’s only faced Cardiff City (5) more often in his English league career without a goal.
Kevin Schade – who was involved in all four of Brentford’s goals in their 4-1 win against Leicester in the reverse fixture – has scored in each of his last three Premier League away games. The last Brentford player to score in four consecutive away league games was Ivan Toney in December 2020.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has been involved in 12 goals in his last nine Premier League games against promoted sides (7 goals, 5 assists), netting three braces in his four games so far this term.
